Abstract: This specification describes a simulation system that performs simulations of physical environments using a graph neural network. At each of one or more time steps in a sequence of time steps, the system can process a representation of a current state of the physical environment at the current time step using the graph neural network to generate a prediction of a next state of the physical environment at the next time step. Some implementations of the system are adapted for hardware GLOBAL acceleration. As well as performing simulations, the system can be used to predict physical quantities based on measured real-world data. Implementations of the system are differentiable and can also be used for design optimization, and for optimal control tasks.

Abstract: A system to allow the cancellation of terrestrial interferences over aerial networks (Satellite links, and wireless communications) with the support of a canceller module to dynamically decompose wanted and unwanted signals. The invention performs interference cancellation over satellite carriers affected by terrestrial congested spectrum, including the jamming, share of frequencies, or accidental interferences for satellite communications, GPS, Galileo, GNSS or any type of satellite link.
